    Did they sell out quickly ?

    Stores were spotty as to which were aware of it but as the morning went on, they all seemed to cop on to it.

    They were taking preorders all day but they went past their allocation at around 1pm. They took more after that but weren't guaranteed first day irrespective of whether they were telling people or not. Carrickmines for example stopped taking orders. Other stores took them after lunch still (even with no allocation).

    I'm sure some of those post 1pm on the first day will get the consoles nonetheless with the new batch.

    But if Currys are getting more, they'd be a good shout to try.

    Currently have a preorder in Smyths to collect from the store but the idea of actually collecting it in the current covid times makes me kinda nervous.

    Yeah, I'd be disappointed if they didn't have some sort of distance queuing system in place, knowing how busy they should expect to be on the day.

    Nowhere has released preorders yet. Suppose Amazon at 9 is best bet before "lunch time" Smyth's launches

    If you are happy to not get it at midnight or first thing in the morning, Then you should be ok for distancing yourself.
    At least this was the case when I collected my PS4 on launch day in GameStop i think I went in around lunch time and I didn’t have to queue at all in and out in probably less then 5 mins

    Could someone explain how Parcel Motel works with oversized packages please?

    If I was to order off Amazon or another UK based provider, there is a Parcel Motel just down the road from me but I believe the package would be too big to fit into one of their boxes?

    Thanks guys :)

    You will get a notification when it arrives in the dublin depot saying that it is oversized and won't fit in a bin, they will charge you €7 instead of €4. At that point you can either collect it from the depot or have them deliver it to your house for an extra few quid. The depot is right next to the Finglas M50 exit.

    The PS5 will almost certainly fit in their bins though.

    It'll drop to launch, seeing as I have a preorder for a digital and disk on amazon, as I am sure loads of people have. And I'll cancel both if I can get a digital Smyths order.

    My default details are my home address and was rushing so will just go with that.
    I have a disc version from the first day for myself, this one is for my brother so not bothered how long that one takes :pac:
